Breathalyser
A BARROW pensioner pleaded guilty to driving while over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
John William Simmons, 71, of St. Luke’s Street, was driving a Ford Transit down Dalton Road on September 23 while over the limit.
The level of alcohol consumed meant that he measured 42 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
Simmons' guilty plea was taken into account and he was ordered by South Cumbria Magistrates’ Court to pay £161. He has also been disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for 12 months.
